What is Custom Wrapping Paper?

Collage.com makes it a breeze to add a festive and personal touch to any type of wrapping paper. The custom photo wrapping paper from Collage.com is heavyweight and thick, ensuring that nobody will be able to see through the wrap to discover the gift. The wrapping paper is 19 inches wide and is available in two sizes. A handy grid on the back of the colored paper translates to straight scissor cutting and precise wrapping for perfect packages every time. Your custom images repeat every 22 inches to deliver a fun and meaningful spin on ordinary wrapping paper.
